CIGARMAKERS ON STRIKE
All of the 93 cigarmakers employed
by the Congress Cigar Co., "Racine av.
and Van Buren st, went on strike
yesterday. Price cuts and an under
hand attempt by the company to
arouse dissension amorigthe work
ers caused the walkout, say the men.
It is believed this strike may mark
the beginning of a long struggle be
tween the Cigar Manufacturers' ass'n
and the Progressive Cigarmakers'
union. The Congress Co. is a mem
ber of the association. Several times
in the past it has tried to cut wages
and the unions had to fight If it is
to be a finish fight this time Progres
sive union is well prepared. Every
meeting has shown a number of ap
plications for union cards.

PETE CAN'T PAY JAIL
When Peter Ginley, former city em
ploye, didn't come across with the
weekly five case note the judge in
1911 ordered him to pay his wife she
had him pinched.
The law says such men must go
to jail till they pay. That's where
Peter is.
"They won't let me out till I pay,"
says Pete. "I can't earn coin in this
jail. It looks like I'm going to be a
lifer."
THE HARVEST
By Jane Whitaker.
Hustle along some boes out here;
Do you want our crops to rot?
We must have men to harvest them
in;
Send all the boes you got.
We'll work 'em long 'ere the sun
comes up
'Till after the sun goes down,
And we'll make 'em sweat for what
they get
'Till they drop like logs to the
ground.
In the winter time? Say, what's that
to us?
We won't have need of men;
We'll have garnered our grain 'till,
harvest again,
To Hell with the hoboes then!
You can give 'em a bunk in a lousy
flop,
With a crust and some watery
ctew
Or send 'em to jail when their jitneys
fail;
There'll be nothing for them to do!
